"Revenge" (2016 or so) is another movie by the same director that's worth seeing. Yeah it's another "men are portrayed in the worst possible light" type movie but it's really, really well-done survival horror movie and a bit of a feminist masterpiece. The main character (a gorgeous, likely pampered woman) is stranded in the desert and has to figure life out really fucking quick, and she does, and goes from hunted to hunter as it progresses. I liked Revenge more than Substance, overall.

Decided to watch this cause it was Jay from RLM's top horror movie of the year (so far). And holy shit, what in the fuckity fucking fuck did I just watch? That was, quite possibly, the weirdest movie I've ever seen.

I had asked my wife if she wanted to watch it, and in retrospect, I'm glad she declined, because I'm pretty sure she'd think there's something wrong with me. By the end I was laughing out loud at the absurdity of it.

I think what made it even funnier (or bizarre?) to me was the three big names playing the three leading roles. Like, how in the world did they get convinced to do this schlock? And with full frontal nudity at that. This isn't like some Oscar nominee where you get naked because you think you'll win an award. This was just pure trashy body horror.

I'm honestly just in a state of shock after watching it.

Body horror is not my favorite, it tends to make me a bit squeamish. That said this was pretty solid with the last third being my favorite as it went totally off the rails. Also the young actress or her body model was insanely hot.

I'm pretty positive her boobs were latex. Definitely not hers.

She has absolutely no ass and much less shapely legs (you could say "no legs" tbh they are fairly nonexistent).

However, the actress did need to train and get in shape to be more similar to the body double (like Robert Pattinson was asked to do for Batman)

This is so wide shots where a double isn't used aren't so jarring of a difference from the close-up shots.

I'd like to know who the double was-- but that's unlikely to come out.

Just for perspective this is what the actress actually looks like without video effects and a body double.

Lloyd Kaufman and David Cronenberg team up to make a film for gooners but shoot it like an art picture after the studio gives them 18m to work with.

What the fuck is a Mubi, hehe?

That's honestly what I've been doing for most of the new movies that come out and our channel specific. I'll sign up for a free trial and just keep a list of which ones I need to go ahead and cancel. I've also found when you go to cancel Amazon will say hey pay $5 and you can get it for two or three more months or something. Which I don't mind doing something like that for $3 a month which is cheaper than renting the damn thing.

They're just so many goddamn streaming services now I don't know what's on what.

I mean I used to be the captain of my own ship, but finally for some reason I just stopped. Just wasn't watching that much TV or movies that weren't readily available on streaming or from my collection.

It's also one of those things that if it's a movie or show that I think I might really enjoy, I'd rather throw them a bone and support their work. Not going to pillage some crappy movie just to waste my time.

I guess that's why services like Shudder I don't mind paying for because they put out quite a bit of decent indie horror, and I'd rather more stuff like that gets made.

Well I guess I'll sign up for a free trial and check out the library. That sounds like it's something I would enjoy.

I watched The Warriors Way last night and thoroughly enjoyed it even with all of the green screen. The mix of martial arts and Western I thought was pretty fun and they did a decent job of making you like the characters and hating others. What's up absolutely fun movie.

If you look a few pages away , I noted her boobs were latex (I'd recommend search but you know....) read it somewhere. When this was promoted on Graham Norton, my wife said she didn't want to watch it as she doesn't like horror movies. I watched it by myself. Then I told my wife that Demi Moore's ass looked like it was 'chewing bubblegum'. She was like wtf so I brought her to my room and showed her on my PC screen.
